Massive Fisher Price Recall
Yet another baby products recall — from one of the biggest and trusted American toy-making companies, Fisher Price.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the toys’ manufacturer Fisher Price, announced today the recall of more than 7 million children’s toys including high chairs, tricycles and play places — citing potential dangers from falling onto certain protruding parts and choking hazards from small parts.
“Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed,” the CPSC said in a statement.
Here’s the recall statement from Fisher Price and a complete list of the recalled toys.
Since the holiday season is just around the corner, it’s very important for us, parents to keep our eyes on the CPSC’s web site to see the lists of product recalls for our children. We have to keep in mind that no matter which company manufacturers our children’s toys, it is extremely important for us to check out the toys we buy.

I was really surprise not to see the Precious Planet Deluxe Musical Activity Gym (http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=7171&e=product&pcat=precious_planet_all&pid=48158) as part of the recall. When we purchased the gym for Jaxon when he was a few months old and assembled the gym the sun’s mirror fell off within hours. There wasnt enough adhesive / glue on it. We were glad that Jaxon wasn’t playing while it happened. We called Fisher Price and told them (it was less than a day old) and they said that they knew of the issue and will send a new mirror out. The new sun had the mirror screwed on rather than just glue.
Thankfully none of the items on the recall list are ones we bought and we have LOTS of fisher price stuff!

Connie, I was surprised too that the Rainforest Activity Mat/Gym wasn’t included because the arc on that kept falling off when we had it for Jordan.

Massive is right! 7 million, what the heck? From Fisher-Price too. I’m sitting here wondering what manufacturer will issue a recall next week and for what. It’s enough to make a parent paranoid. =|
